Abstract :
This paper describes a 2.7-V dual modulus (÷64/65, ÷128/129) prescaler that operates up to 1.5 GHz with a power consumption of 1.97 mW (Vcc=2.3 V, Icc=860 μA). The prescaler also incorporates a stand-by mode feature, which reduces its power dissipation to 0.12 mW when enabled. This performance has been achieved on a 0.8-μm advanced bipolar technology
